Characterizing atmospheric escape from Mars today and through time, with MAVEN
Two of the primary goals of the MAVEN mission are to determine how the rate of escape of
Martian atmospheric gas to space at the current epoch depends upon solar influences and …

Ion energization and escape on Mars and Venus
Mars and Venus do not have a global magnetic field and as a result solar wind interacts
directly with their ionospheres and upper atmospheres. Neutral atoms ionized by solar UV …

Inventory of CO2 available for terraforming Mars
BM Jakosky, CS Edwards - Nature astronomy, 2018 - nature.com
We revisit the idea of 'terraforming'Mars—changing its environment to be more Earth-like in
a way that would allow terrestrial life (possibly including humans) to survive without the need …

Heavy ion escape from Mars, influence from solar wind conditions and crustal magnetic fields
We have used more than 4years of Mars Express ion data to estimate the escape of heavy
ions (O+, O2+ and CO2+) from Mars. To take the limited field of view of the instrument into …
